This document provides a framework for analyzing texts by looking at three key elements: field, tenor, and mode. The field refers to the overall topic or content area. The tenor examines the relationship between the author and reader. And the mode considers how the text is structured and delivered. Evidence from the text itself is used to determine where it falls within each of these three elements. This framework provides a systematic way to deconstruct and understand the key aspects of a written work.
